Our Programmed Facility Management team in Western Australia traded their usual weekend routines for shovels, soil, and sheer determination at the Big Dig Relay Challenge, all in support of a cause that truly matters.
The event backs zero2hero, a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving youth mental health and preventing suicide by empowering young people to speak up and seek help. Our team has proudly supported The Big Dig since its launch in August 2025, an initiative originally championed by Goran Utjesinovic, who famously dug a 1m-wide, 1m-deep trench for 24 hours straight to raise funds.
From morning teas and sausage sizzles to generous personal donations, the team rallied together to raise nearly $3,000. Their efforts culminated in a visit to The Big Dig site, where John Pirie, Head of Facility Management – Western Australia & Resources, led the charge to complete their trench, joined by family members who couldn’t resist having a dig themselves.
The Big Dig raised over $140,000 in total, making a powerful impact on youth mental health across Western Australia. It’s proof that when we dig deep, literally and figuratively, we can help create a brighter future for young people.
